The Branch Today
The development of central Wellington has obliterated most traces of the Extension. The corner of a petrol station on Whitmore St once reflected the curve that the line took through that part of the city, but redevelopment has removed this final trace of the railway. In 2007, the demolition of The Warehouse building on Tory St revealed remains of the still laid track and platform of the Te Aro Railway Station. After consultation with the City Council and Historic Places Trust, the still insitu location of the remains were recorded and photographed. The station site was reburied and built over.
